Intro/Beginning Chorus (piano)

Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
Just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me
Trying to find a light

Verse 1:
Like ships in the ni[C]ght letting cannonball[Gsus4/E]s fly
Say what you m[G6]ean and it turns to a [Cmaj7]fight
Fists fly f[C]rom my mouth as it turns[Gsus4/E] south
You're down the dr[G6]iveway, I'm on the [Cmaj7]couch
Chasing your dr[C]eams since the violent fifth[Gsus4/E] grade
Trying to beli[G6]eve in your silent own[Cmaj7] way
'Cause you'll be o[C]kay, I'm not going[Gsus4/E] away
You watched your fo[G6]urteen as it went down the [Cmaj7]drain
Your pop's stayed t[C]he same and your mom's moved[Gsus4/E] away
How many of our pa[G6]rents seem to make it [Cmaj7]anyway?
We're just fumb[C]ling through the[Gsus4/E] gray
Trying to find a h[G6]eart that's not walking[Cmaj7] away

Pre-chorus:

Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far
From so close

Chorus:
Like ships in the [Gsus4/E]night
You keep passing me [G6]by
Just wasting [Gsus4/E]time
Trying to p[G6]rove who's right
And if it [G]all goes [D]crashing in[C]to the sea
If it's [Gsus4/E]just you and me
[Em]Trying to find a light
Like ships in the [G6]night
You're passing me [Cmaj7]by
You're passing me [G6]by
Like ships in the [Cmaj7]night

Verse 2:
I'm at the ai[C]rport waiting on the second[Gsus4/E] plane
Had to pack you had c[G6]ramps and I was [Cmaj7]late
Headed to a r[C]ed carpet they won't know my[Gsus4/E] name
Riding in s[G6]ilence all that we wanna [Cmaj7]say
'Bout to boa[C]rd when you call on the[Gsus4/E] phone
You say "I'm s[G6]orry I'll be waiting at [Cmaj7]home"
Feels like we're bur[C]ning this out on our[Gsus4/E] own
Trying to find our [G6]way down a road we don't [Cmaj7]know

Pre-chorus:

Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far
From so close

Chorus:
Like ships in the [Gsus4/E]night

Just wasting [Gsus4/E]time
Trying to p[G6]rove who's right
And if it [G]all goes [D]crashing in[C]to the sea
If it's [Gsus4/E]just you and me
[Em]Trying to find a light
Like ships in the [G6]night
You're passing me [Cmaj7]by
You're passing me [G6]by
Like ships in the [Cmaj7]night

Solo (again, not relative to capo):

I'm gonna find my way
Back to your side
Whoa-oa-oa, whoa-oa-oa
I'm gonna find my way
Back to your side
Whoa-oa-oa, whoa-oa-oa
